In her own words

Not sure I'm good at describing myself, but since I have to-- I guess I'm a you gotta meet me to believe me type of person. I've been told that I'm endearing, genuine, and my smile isn't so bad.
I like to think I'm a passionate person. I see beauty all around me, sometimes in things others often overlook. I am pretty quirky, fun, and easy going. My friends and family are sometimes baffled by the things that come out of my mouth and things I do, not because they're inappropriate (just to be clear here), but because its often random and hilarious. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I like to think I'm a cool kid. I may/may not be the only person that actually believes this. :)
I firmly believe my life is not my own. I have been incredibly fortunate and blessed, so its time for me to pay it forward and help others. One of the most fulfilling yet depressing experiences of my life so far was working with refugees and asylum seekers in Pretoria, South Africa. Working with that population thought me a lot about humanity, and the amazing capacity for people to endure the most impossible circumstances. After this experience, I got a better understanding of the phrase "love conquers all." Love I learned could be the difference between life and death. The difference between a life of endless misery and a life of second chances and triumphs. Ooh if you haven't guessed by now, I'm also a hopeless romantic. :) And I'm totally shameless about this.
I'm interested in someone that's caring and understanding. Someone that's accepting of others and dances to the beat of his own drum. Someone who is passionate about God and other interests he may have. Lastly, I am looking for someone that is easy to be with, someone I can spend hours with and still want to spend countless more hours with. Yup I guess I won't know that about you until we meet... hmm.

Last read

The last serious book I read was "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" Its a really quick and easy read about a nobel prize winning physicist Richard Feynman.

Background

I am Nigerian born, moved to the US when I was 9. Though I'm American, I also culturally identify as Nigerian; its the best of both worlds I realized after I got over my confusion. Growing up here with African parents meant life was unpredictable.

Faith is important to me. I am at a point in my life where I know what I believe and stand for, and I am not willing to compromise that. So if you feel the same way, message me, will ya.

I went to a small liberal arts college in MD (St. Mary's College of MD), which was nothing short of amazing. It was like going to school set in a liberal/super chill country club. I then went to BC law and that was also amazing! I've been fortunate.
